A Mother's Day Gift from the State
Mothers of Ohio, here you go. Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray is using your tax dollars to provide you with the gift you desired all along. Though, for some reason, you couldn't recognize that desire -- a breakdown of Thymology I suppose.
Regardless, here it is. Enjoy. Cordray knew you would.
Thankfully, my mother lives in Florida and is unaware of Cordray trumping my measly gift. Well, at least I paid for mine.
Hey, wait a minute, I paid for both!

There are too many women who rely upon their fathers and then their husbands to make financial decisions. Then, when they find themselves alone with a couple of kids and their lives are a financial trainwreck, they don't know what to do.
Is it the responsibility of government to teach these women about fiscal responsibility by providing workbooks? No. The fact that the father/husband didn't teach her or that she lacked the initiative to ask questions doesn't mean that government has to step in. This is something that could be taken care of by a charitable organization. It would also be an excellent marketing opportunity for investment firms to provide lost cost/free courses...to both men and women.
